Super Mario Chalmers

helped the Jayhawks come back from a 9-point disadvantage to tie the score and then go on to an overtime victory over Memphis.

It was a great game, neither team gave up, they both fought bravely to the end. Roy Williams showed up wearing his Jayhawk jersey and spoke at halftime.

There are other things more important than sport, and I’ll turn to other topics later. But I’m not going to let that spoil the fun for now.

The picture above is my niece Melissa. A couple months ago the Jayhawks opened their fieldhouse on a Sunday afternoon to the Special Olympics kids; and the players and coach volunteered their time to teach the kids some skills and play basketball with them.
